Victory, Oh victory to the Sun God, Who is the lamp to the seven worlds, Who by His rays destroys sin, Who destroys aches and sorrows, Who is lead to by the path of Vedas, Who is the Sun God to the universe, And Who is saluted by all the worlds, And also my salutations to Him who makes the day.

GURUVAAR PRARTHNA

GURUVAAR PRARTHNA

Our Beloved Sadguru Sainath, please accept our humble prayers on this Holy Day of Guruvaar. Baba, our life is like a television drama series with different episodes and different characters. There are episodes where some people are going to exit from our life when we least expect because their part in the series is over. And no matter how much we try to bring them back, they will not return because their part in our life story is over. No matter how much we try to call them, cry for them, beg them, talk about them, day dream about them or even try to rewind the clock, they will not come back, what we need to know is that their part in the script is over. Therefore, we stop looking back and look ahead, the nature doesn't allow any open space. When some people leave others will show up, when some people walk out others will walk in, when some people betray us others will restore us, when some people say bye-bye others will say hello, when some people abandon us others will embrace us, when some people make us cry others will bring us a smile. So, Baba please make us to focus on the next episode because new characters are about to show up and those new characters send by You will show us new light and right direction on our life. On this holy day we start our prayers by reading your divine guidance in Shri Sai Samartha Satcharitra.

That Sai is subtler than the subtlest, greater than the greatest, all pervading, filling the entire Brahman and covering the universe.

A wish arose in my heart to perceive with these mortal eyes such a God, in the garb of some shape and colour.

The worshippers of the sun worship him with the help of a thin cotton wick; and the followers of Ganpati make an image ofGanpati out of a mound of jaggery and offer jaggery as prasad;

or else, taking water in the palm out of a great ocean and offer oblation to it. All this seemingly looks odd.

The sun and the ocean are supreme. But they are only concerned with the faith of the devotees and do not bother about the right or the wrong. They are only concerned with the sentiments of the devotees.

'Birds of the same feather flock together', it is said. Though this is a general rule, the union of the body and the Atman is the exception.

They are different in nature but there is a great friendship between the two. One cannot be happy without the other and they cannot stay separate even for a moment.

Yet, the body is transient. The Atman is unchangeable and indestructible. But the love between them knows no bounds. Therefore, the cycle of re-birth takes place.

Atman is the greatest power. It is more minute than that which is imperceptible, which is the ethereal air pervading the whole universe. The personified will of the Supreme Spirit in the creation is very subtle. It is also called Maya.

The Purush(the Supreme) is subtler than these. All the senses dissolve in it. That is the highest state and that itself is the Pure Brahman.

Such is that Atman which appears to belong to the material world; and has to follow the path of illusion and karma

He is Brhama, He is Vishnu,He is Shiva, He is Skanda,He is the progenitor of human race,He is the king of devas,He is Kubhera, the lord of all riches.He is Kala, the God of death,And He is the moon also He is Varuna

He is the manes, He is the Gods called Vasus,He is the gods called sadhya, He is the Aswini devathas, the doctors of Gods,He is the maruths who are responsible for breeze,He is the wind God, He is the fire God,He is the soul of all beings,He is the creator of seasons,And he is the giver of light.

He is the son of Adithi,He is the creator of the world,He makes us do things,He travels on the sky,He feeds the world by rain,He is the one with rays,He is the colour of Gold,He is always shining,He is responsible for creation,And he is the maker of the day.

He has green horses,He has thousands of rays,He rides on seven horses,He dispels darkness,He gives a pleasant life,He kills all life,He gives rebirth to those killed,He removes darkness,And he is resplendent in his glory.

He who keeps the golden source,He who cools down minds of devotees,He who bestows heat,He who is the source of light,He who is praised by every one,He who has fire within himself,He who is the son of adhithi,He who travels in the sky with pleasure,And he who melts cold.

He who is the lord of the sky,He who dispels darkness,He who is a master of Rig, Yajur and Sama veda,He who is the cause of heavy rains,He who is the friend of water,And he who travels over the Vindhyas swiftly.

He who gives heat,He who is of the global shape,He who is of the form of death,He who is of the colour of gold,He who heats everything,He who is in expert in knowledge,He who manages the universe,He who is of great brilliance,He who is dear to every one,And he who manages every event.

Salutations and salutations,To him who is fearful to the sinners,To him who is the hero,And to him who travels swiftly.Salutations to him who opens the lotus,And salutations and salutations,To him who makes men live.

Salutations to Him,Who is of the colour of molten gold,Who is of the form of fire,Who has created the world,Who destroys ignorance,Who is the subject of all that is loved,And to him who is the witness of the world.
